Movie Reviews

Reviewed by claudg1950 6 / 10

Neither 10 nor 1. Barely OK. Hallmark on a time machine.

The acting, the writing and the directing are very adequate; nothing more than that was necessary to set this film in a middle-of-the-road category. Acceptable, not outstanding.I find the film slow: with the exception of the hostile TV interview, the scenes which constitute the plot were not intense enough to maintain my interest. (Can't totally blame the writers: the situation in itself is static: "she went away and she returned at the same age. This is all there is, what we do now?") There is too much Hallmark and not enough time travel.Some viewers find repulsive (creepy) the idea of a couple with 20 years of age gap. Fine to them, but not for me. For the last 18 years I've been married to a woman 30 years my junior. We have two children and we are reasonably happy. Either way, the age factor should not weight on the consideration of the merits of the film, which does not take a position on age-different couples. It is just the situation as it is.All in all, the movie is just OK, and very little is gained by watching it.

Original Story Line

You know how they reuse the same story line over and over again. The super spy who can beat up 15 armed men with nothing but a pool noodle. The RomCom where they accidentally meet, some sparks fly, then a disagreement separates them but in the end they get back together? There are so many storylines that are so played.This is original. Two teenagers fall in love. Then one goes on a intergalactic voyage. She comes back and everyone has aged 20 years but she hasn't aged a day. Then she finds her old flame, now close to 40, and they rekindle their romance.Ok, it's pretty stupid. I agree. Bring back the guy with the pool noodle. One star for originality. Six stars for Brianna Hildebrand. She is a talented actress, and I'm looking forward to seeing her work for many years to come.
